A huge matchup at the bottom of the Premier League standings will take place on Sunday, as Nottingham Forest welcome Everton to the City Ground. The Toffees will be desperate for points as their long stay in the English top-flight looks under increasing threat.

Before Betting On Nottingham Forest vs Everton

Just four points separate Everton and Nottingham Forest coming into this fixture at the City Ground on Sunday. But, it’s Everton that find themselves with the desperate need of maximum points, as the Toffees remain in the bottom three places after suffering back-to-back defeats in the Premier League. The latest of those was a 4-0 drubbing away from home against Arsenal, and they will need a better performance in the East Midlands on Sunday.

Everton’s record in Premier League fixtures on a Sunday is concerning, as they have lost 13 of their previous 17 matches played on that day. That includes ten defeats from their previous three. The Toffees are also winless in their last eight matches against newly promoted sides, losing on five occasions over that period.

Nottingham Forest’s chances of survival this term will likely hinge on their home form in the Premier League. They have been in excellent recent form at the City Ground, as they have gone eight without defeat, winning on four occasions over that period. In fact, only Manchester United are currently on a longer unbeaten run in home matches in the top-flight.

However, Forest will need to get back on track as they have gone three matches without a victory in the Premier League, including two defeats over that period. They were easily beaten 4-0 by West Ham United in their previous league fixture, but their chances are certainly enhanced back at the City Ground.
